[Haspen]

Seconds after Adrien finished, first droplets began soothing the warm, early summer ground.

Soon, everything was obscured by curtains of heavy rain.

[Taricus]

: "Before any of you lot get superstitious, the rain is just a co-incidence."

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris shrugged.

"It's no concern of mine whether or not you ever get paid. If you have issues with your contract, you can take it up with your employer."

He walked over to a window and looked out of it.

"I like the rain. Especially when it's heavy like this, so thick that it obscures both sigh and sound..."

[Sirus]

Gregor fidgets uncertainly.

: "I'm not sure antagonizing the most powerful woman around is a good idea, Adrien. Especially since she has access to more than enough of my fellow soldiers to grind us into dust.."

[scapheap]

Ami grind her teeth
:"Rain, flipping rain! Any one got a umbrella?"

[Furtuka]

"Er yeah I don't think this is a good idea Adrian."

[Taricus]

: "Well, in this weather, we'd be stuck here until it lightens up. As you've so kindly pointed out Chris, it's raining hard enough that we can't see or hear far. We leave, and we're perfect targets for an ambush. Of course, with all the broken walls here, staying would be foolish, but less so than leaving."

: "And Gregor, we're just telling her to pay us what she owes us."

[Darvi]

"Adrien, I'm sure she's going to pay us once we're back. What is she gonna do, somehow magic the money next to us? And she really seems to want that other job done, so it's in her own interest to do so."

Sterling takes a look aoutside the window. It's raining, but not exactly the kind of downpour that drenches one to the bones.

"It doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. Sorry Ami, but we're on a schedule here, so we should head out as soon as possible. It doesn't looks like it'll stop anytime soon"

[Sirus]

: "But if Sterling didn't manage to secure any promise of payment, she doesn't owe you anything! My impression was that this mission was an audition of sorts so that your group could do the job you were originally going to be paid for.

"And I agree, we should stay here until the weather clears."

[Furtuka]

"I suppose we could use Daniel's magic cape as a tarp should worse come to worse..."

[CrimsonEon]

Olison scoffed.

: "Gregor has the right of it. And in any case, if she was planning on paying you, she would not risk sending payment beyond her walls. Negotiations will have to be left for when you return to Kesselring. You had best hope Prixima can overlook that kind of prudence."

[scapheap]

:"Let just head back before I go weird again. Bloody rain."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Frankly I'm for informing our Lady that the lot of you - regardless of the majority of your skills and talents - are led by incompetent morons."

Chris continued to stare out the window at the rain.

"The brunette with the axe is a dullard too concerned with money and status, and the other has potential but is too concerned with making everyone happy. I kind of like that, though."

"Listen to Olison. He's trusted for a reason. And we can stay until the rain quits if the majority of you wish. I enjoy watching it as much as I enjoy being in it."

[Taricus]

: "Eh, we can wait, rushing out would just be folly. And the status bit is untrue Chris. Money, and only money is my motivation."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I'm sorry, you seem to have mistaken me for someone who cares."

Chris continued to smile at Adrien.
